Years of ignorance of wine and dipped lips

Chapter 61

Deleted.

I felt relieved, and at the same time regained a little bit of energy.

Very good, continue with the plot.

Seeing my mood swings, Jing Nian asked, "Brother, are you sick? I'll ask Elder Xue to take your pulse."

"Your senior brother, I'm fine. Come on, let's get down to business." I slapped the roster that I had been clutching for half an hour on the table. "Future Taoist companion, choose one."

The first step to avoid repeating the same mistakes is to let Jing Nian find a new Taoist partner.

But he resolutely lit the roster with a candlestick. I was so shocked that I stepped on the flames, but it was completely useless. I could only watch the paper turn into ashes.

The perpetrator looked calm, and said: "In my life, I look down on those who rely on their Taoist companions to be strong and take shortcuts. If you want to become stronger and be valued by others, you should rely on yourself."

"Then don't burn it, what a pity."

Xue Jiajia must have put in a lot of effort, so I can't beat myself to it.

"What's the pity? Oh, I see, you are the one who really wants to find a Taoist companion!" The red mark at the end of Jing Nian's eyes has not disappeared, even though his face is full of anger, I can't get scared. "You...why do you find a Taoist partner! With your cultivation level, who would not take a fancy to you? As the disciple with the best qualifications in the history of Wuyun Sect, I don't even have..."

"Oh, that means, I can only find you after you find it?"

"Don't look for it! If you dare, I'll kill him with a sword!" Jing Nian said, and actually drew the sword and lifted up the ashes on the ground. "Anyway, for such a short-sighted thing, it's a waste to live."

I burst out laughing, it was obvious that I was messing around, but somehow I felt that such a Jing Nian was a little cute.

It was the first time he hooked up with this adjective.

Rarely in a good mood, I said obediently: "Well, then I won't look for it."

Jing Nian looked at me, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Senior brother, actually the candidate for a Taoist partner in my heart..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped speaking, his eyes froze, and he said, "There are people outside the window!"

Strange, it's past time, even Xu Jin has fallen asleep, and there are still people wandering outside?

I followed him out the door.

Under the largest spiritual tree, there was definitely a figure squatting, doing something with so much concentration that we didn't notice our approach.

Take a closer look, this uninvited guest is wearing the same uniform as me.

I felt relieved and patted Jing Nian on the shoulder. "It was Qin Simu who made a false alarm."

"He's not staying in the alchemy room, what's he doing here?" Jing Nian still didn't let go of his doubts, pointing at the back and asked, "Is Qin Simu's figure that tall?"

Hearing the sound, the man stood up slowly.

He was indeed very tall, not inferior to Qin Yuyu and Jing Nian at all, and when he turned to face me, he felt a pure masculinity blowing towards his face.

The corners of my mouth twitched. "Who are you?"

"I am Qin Simu." He probably guessed my reaction, and said concisely: "hairpin, women's clothing, wine gourd."

After confirming his eyes, it was indeed Qin Simu.

I resentfully said: "Although puberty will be long, but you are too different..."

It is difficult to connect the rough and burly young man in front of him with the slender and even feminine young man back then.

He said awkwardly: "Ah, you don't know, we are all like this in Yanshi."

"What do you mean?"

He was about to explain, but Jing Nian noticed a newly dug earth pit behind him with sharp eyes, and then found that the body of the female lyre fish buried under the tree was gone.

"Why steal the fish?" Jing Nian asked coldly.

Although Qin Simu was tall, when faced with Jing Nian's powerful spiritual pressure, he was still a little apprehensive, and said unnaturally: "I didn't steal it, I borrowed it, and I will pay it back... Ah, Elder Yan Zhen, why are you here?" gone?"

Jing Nian and I turned our heads at the same time, but there was no one behind us.

Taking advantage of this gap, Qin Simu drew a teleportation array and slipped away.

Tsk, this guy has been an apprentice under Xue Jiajia for two and a half years. I haven't heard that he is good at refining medicine, but his running skills have become more and more exquisite.

Where there are teachers, there must be disciples.

Looking at Jing Nian who was about to go into a fit with a gloomy face, I comforted him, "It's okay, he will pay back what he said, anyway the fish are dead."

"Heh, after the senior brother had a nightmare, he really looked away from everything."

I pretended to be confused, pretending to understand, ignored his sarcasm, and said, "By the way, what were you going to tell me? The candidate for a Taoist partner is—"

"forget."

Jing Nian walked away.

I scratched my head, wondering when the lovely Jing Nian would appear again next time.

After a fairly peaceful sleep.

The sound of horseshoes broke through the clean dawn.

Chungdu's troops visited again, and the number was several times larger than last time.

This time they directly found Qin Shuyu and asked him to help persuade Qin Simu to return to Chongdu.

While I was looking for someone, I listened to him along the way, only to realize that the old emperor of Chungdu was dying of illness and had to call Qin Simu back to the palace to succeed him before he died.

Qin Yu asked: "Since you are ill, why didn't you mention it last time?"

The officers and soldiers replied: "Your Majesty is the lord of the capital. If the disease is leaked to the people, there will inevitably be riots."

Qin Yuyu didn't ask further questions, even though his eyes were full of concerns.

I know that Chungdu is hiding his past, and he is deliberately maintaining a normal level of concern for Chungdu's affairs.

Maintain an outsider status.

But looking at the downcast faces of the officers and soldiers, it seems that Qin Simu has gone into hiding again.

Jing Nian, who was among the spectators, said abruptly, "I know where he is hiding."

"Really?" I thought about it, "I've searched every place in Jigen Peak, could it be that he went to Brother Yu in Zhenzhen Peak again?"

Jing Nian didn't answer directly, but just glanced at Qin Shuyu. "I wonder if Brother Qin has checked the back room of your bedroom?"

"I checked and found nothing." Qin Shuyu replied.

I also chimed in, "When he first came to Wuyun Sect, he went there first. Everyone knows it, so it is unlikely to repeat the old trick."

Jing Nian didn't argue, and set off directly, I had no choice but to keep up.

After arriving at the destination, I saw that the furnishings in the house were still the same, and there was not even a piece of furniture that could hide.

The posture of the puppet has begun to take shape. It seems that the right hand is resting on the knee, the palm is down, and the fingers touch the ground.

Qin Yuyu is very proficient in hand gestures, so this naturally has a specific meaning.

After a general search, it was confirmed that this gesture is the seal of descending demons, which represents getting rid of the obstruction of demons, peace of mind, and ignoring random thoughts. It is mostly used for carving Buddha statues.

People who practice Taoism carve the seal of Buddhism, which is really against harmony.

Contacting Qin Yuyu's pious appearance when facing the puppet, I joked: "Brother Yuyu, you don't really intend to worship it, do you? Then why don't you just carve a Buddha statue?"

Qin Yuyu lowered his eyes and answered the wrong question: "The devil is not outside, but inside the heart. It doesn't matter what kind of Buddha you worship."

Jing Nian strolled around the room, casually twisting a corner of the black gauze covering it.

This move made Qin Yuyu flustered, and said anxiously, "Wait, I'll do it myself, can you avoid it, junior brother?"

Although it's really impolite to touch other people's things, it's strange that Qin Shuyu is so nervous.

I asked: "Senior Brother Yu, isn't this just an ordinary puppet? And it's not finished yet, so it can't move by itself."

"That's right." He pursed his lips, "It's just the puppet's appearance...I don't want to be seen by others...Sorry, please understand."

Indeed, this is the secret that Qin Yuyu insisted on, otherwise he would not have kept the puppet tightly covered.

"Then you don't have to worry." Jing Nian lifted up the black veil neatly. "Because it's not your puppet down here."

As he said, there was no puppet with a mysterious face under the black veil, only Qin Simu with a pale face.

Before Qin Simu could explain, Jing Nian said first, "You buried the puppet under the spirit tree last night, didn't you?"

I also understand that if Qin Simu just wanted to steal fish last night, he could have done it while I was still practicing in the ice lake.

He was found out on purpose.

In this case, I would default to the place where the fish was stolen under the tree. When searching for Qin Simu, I also subconsciously avoided this known location, so no one would think that he had dropped himself and the puppet.

It was a harmless little cleverness.

Only Qin Yuyu seemed to have lost his soul, and he didn't bother to pursue Qin Simu's fault, so he ran to dig the puppet immediately, as if he couldn't leave it for a moment.

Qin Simu, who was ignored, was full of resentment, and was surrounded by officers and soldiers who came later.

"His Royal Highness, I have offended you. It's just that His Majesty's illness will not last long. Please cooperate with us to return to the capital together."

Qin Simu turned a deaf ear to their pleas. On his resolute face, there was only a childish expression, and he turned towards the direction where Qin Shuyu was leaving, and shouted: "I really have to leave, you have no intention of keeping me back. Is it?"

Qin Yu's footsteps paused slightly, but his tone remained calm. "You are His Royal Highness, and you have your own obligations to fulfill."

"I don't want to be such a poor prince!"

"The city of Chung is strong, and it is easy to unify the capitals of all mortals other than Tianyi City. The prince's status is so noble, under one person, above ten thousand, how many common people can't ask for it."

"How can you say that?" Qin Simu said in a daze, "I thought you would understand me, you should be the person who knows the situation in Yanshi the most, and the absurdity of our life in the palace! How can you do this Say? Qin Sanchao!"

Hearing this name, Qin Shuyu felt more like getting an electric shock, so he quickened his pace without avoiding it, leaving Qin Simu howling on the spot.

"Stop! Don't leave! Qin Sanchao! Sister Xiaochao..."

In the end, it was the officers and soldiers who came forward to persuade them that they might implicate the Yanshi people if they didn't return to Chong for a long time, so Qin Simu calmed down.

However, the doubts over the gender of the Yanshi people have become more and more profound.

Not only this inexplicable "sister", but also the huge changes in Qin Simu's body.
